Why is Gibbons NOT sending Revere there?! 2-2 count. Worst case here is Tulo comes up next inning. Makes no sense.

2 runners on, one in scoring position, top of the order up. It's screaming the opposite.

 

[Longshot]

The talk about Chris Carpenter's 10-win season with an ERA over 6.00 in 2000 made me look up that team.

You think this offense is good?

Check it out in 2000:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_Toronto_Blue_Jays_season

Eight of the nine regulars in the lineup had 15 homeruns or more. And seven of them had 20 or more.

Why would you run into an out with one of the best hitters in the game at the plate with a guy at 3rd?

To have 2 runners in scoring position. Revere was brought in because of his defense and speed. Why not use his speed?

 

[Habsawce]

Liam Hendriks looks like he could be Adam Lind's brother.

 

[Daisy Jane]

oh no more Hutch.
Hi Hendicks.

I'd rather have 1 run than no runs. You take the 1 run quite easily.

You don't take the bat out of Tulo's hands with RISP. No manager would ever do that.

 

[Tony Romo]

and what happens if gets thrown out? you take the bat out of the hands out of the hands of tulowitzki with a runner on 3rd.

Agreed. Tulo at bat with two runners on (one on third) and two outs > Tulo at bat with none on and none out.

Notable transactions
July 19, 2000: Esteban Loaiza was traded by the Texas Rangers to the Toronto Blue Jays for Darwin Cubillán and Michael Young.

Damn.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

To have 2 runners in scoring position. Revere was brought in because of his defense and speed. Why not use his speed?

Because you have an elite bat at the plate with two men on base. The goal in baseball is to avoid giving away outs. When one your best hitters is up with men on, you want him to hit, not take the bat out of his hands to leadoff the next inning with no one on.

Yeah...not exactly an era known for it's..err...fair play.

 

[Habsawce]

In the end it doesn't matter. Gibbons isn't aggressive when it comes to the base pads. In the end I guess he shoudln't be since they have so many bangers.

 

[Swervin81]

Besides, instead of Tulo, we only have Donaldson-Bautista-Edwin due up. Oh, the humanity

 

[Eyedea]

That's a ball? lol wut

Yeah, the same pitch gets him. Good on ya ump.

 

[RiceCooker]

that was a strike

 

[p.l.f.]

****ing umpires
its embarassing

 

[Daisy Jane]

lol everyone thinks it's a strike and ump goes, nah, we're good.

 

[sparxx87]

maybe after the routine play wasn't made. he looked okay after the 1st inning. Sure Drew should have made up for his teammates mistake, but people blaming that inning on Drew mostly isn't right

I would say more like 70% Colabello, 30% Drew

I agree. He seemingly had righted the ship... Sometimes you need your teammates to pick you up, not let you down. Donaldson made a great play for his pitcher, then Colabello can't make a routine catch for a 1B.

I'd love to ask Gibbons: With all of the runs his terrible defense has yielded, how do you justify putting him in the field in the middle of a post season race?

 

[Swervin81]

That previous pitch should've been a trike, but he got him anyways.

It does matter in that situation. Gibbons made the right choice not sending Revere.

 

[Loosie]

everyone BUT the ump thought that was strike 3.

 

[dredeye]

Wtf couldn't Boyd and Norris pitch like that for us? 7 strong for Boyd against kc.

 

[Canucks LB]

They have to have a better starting option then hutch, tell me they have one?
